NEWS RELEASE
 

TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS REPORTS
RESTATED HISTORICAL RESULTS


 
Highlights
  Teekay LNG has completed its previously announced financial restatement.
 
  As anticipated, there is no impact on the Partnership’s previously reported distributable cash flow, liquidity or cash distributions in any period.
 
  All restatement adjustments are non-cash in nature and do not affect the economics of the Partnership.
 
  The Partnership will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 to discuss its restated results and key elements of its financial position and outlook.
Hamilton, Bermuda, November 25, 2008 — Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG or the Partnership) (NYSE: TGP) today reported that it has restated its previously reported financial results, including results for fiscal years 2003 through 2007 and the first and second quarters of 2008, to adjust for:
    its accounting treatment for its derivative transactions under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging (SFAS 133), as more fully discussed below under “Restatement for Accounting under SFAS 133”;
 
    its accounting treatment for certain vessels it acquired from Teekay Corporation (Teekay) subsequent to the Partnership’s May 2005 initial public offering, whereby the Partnership’s financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to include the historical results of the vessels from the date they were originally acquired by Teekay and began operating, as more fully discussed below under “Restatement for Changes to Accounting for Dropdown Transactions”; and
 
    its financial statement presentation for the Partnership’s interests in the RasGas joint ventures, whereby certain assets and liabilities have been grossed-up for accounting presentation purposes, as more fully discussed below under “Restatement for Gross-up Presentation of RasGas Joint Ventures and Other.”
“It is important to emphasize that all of the restatement adjustments have no impact on the Partnership’s distributable cash flow(1), liquidity or cash distributions in any period,” stated Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer of Teekay GP LLC, the Partnership’s general partner. “Any adjustments to the Partnership’s financial statements are due to changes in accounting treatment only and have no impact on the economics of the Partnership or its actual cash flows.”
Mr. Evensen continued, “Any adjustments to net income resulting from the change in the Partnership’s accounting treatment for hedge transactions are exclusively due to unrealized gains or losses as a result of the change in the mark-to-market value of our hedging instruments at the end of each reporting period, which have no cash impact. Additional adjustments, which came into scope as a result of the Partnership’s detailed and thorough restatement audit, also have no cash impact. The change to our accounting treatment for vessel dropdowns simply means that vessels acquired from Teekay are now reflected in the Partnership’s comparative historical financial statements for periods prior to the Partnership’s actual acquisition of the vessels as if they had been acquired by the Partnership at the time of their original purchase by Teekay. This adjustment has no impact on the Partnership’s financial results subsequent to the date the vessels were acquired by the Partnership. Finally, any gross-up of assets and liabilities related to the Partnership’s RasGas joint venture interests does not impact partners’ equity or net income and does not result in any change to the Partnership’s net exposure in these joint ventures.”
 
(1)   Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of the Partnership and other master limited partnerships. Please see Appendix A to this release for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

A summary of financial information reflecting the restatement adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2008 is presented below. Appendix B to this release provides a summary of the impact of the restatements on reported net income for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 through 2007. Please see “Information on SEC Filings” below for information about the Partnership’s upcoming filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the restatements.
Summary of Restated Second Quarter 2008 Results
Since the restatement adjustments are all non-cash in nature, they have not impacted the Partnership’s distributable cash flow(1) or cash distributions. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership generated $24.4 million of distributable cash flow, an increase from $22.2 million for the same quarter last year. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership raised its quarterly cash distribution by approximately four percent to $0.55 per unit from $0.53 per unit in the previous quarter. This increase reflects the acquisition of the two Kenai LNG carriers on April 1, 2008. This cash distribution was paid on August 14, 2008 to all unitholders of record on August 7, 2008.
On November 3, 2008, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.57 per unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $0.02 per unit, or four percent, from the previous quarter. This distribution increase reflects the contribution from the Partnership’s joint venture interest in four RasGas 3 LNG carriers delivered between May and July of 2008. This cash distribution was paid on November 14, 2008 to all unitholders of record on November 7, 2008.
The effect of the accounting adjustments noted above on previously reported net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is summarized in the table below. The results of vessels acquired from Teekay relating to the periods prior to their acquisition by the Partnership are referred to herein as the Dropdown Predecessor.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership now reports net income of $31.7 million, compared to net income of $41.4 million for the same period last year. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes unrealized foreign currency translation losses of $29,000 and $5.7 million, respectively, which primarily relate to long-term debt denominated in Euros. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 also includes non-cash net gains of $19.8 million and $34.9 million, respectively, relating primarily to changes in fair value of derivative instruments not qualifying for hedge accounting and the accounting consolidation of interests in the two Tangguh LNG newbuilding carriers (which the Partnership has not yet acquired) and in the four RasGas 3 LNG carriers (which the Partnership acquired on May 6, 2008).
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership now reports a net loss of $10.5 million, compared to net income of $47.9 million for the same period last year. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes unrealized foreign currency translation losses of $33.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively, which primarily relate to long-term debt denominated in Euros. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 also includes a non-cash net loss of $1.3 million and a non-cash net gain of $37.7 million, respectively, relating primarily to changes in fair value of derivative instruments not qualifying for hedge accounting and the accounting consolidation of interests in the Tangguh and RasGas 3 LNG carriers.

Further Information Regarding Restatement Items
Restatement for Accounting under SFAS 133
On August 7, 2008, the Partnership announced that it would restate its historical financial statements to adjust its accounting treatment for its derivative transactions under SFAS 133. This restatement adjusts for the Partnership’s interest rate swap agreements and profit sharing swap agreement that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133 as aspects of the Partnership’s hedge documentation did not meet the strict technical requirements of the standard.
Accordingly, the Partnership has now recognized the changes in the fair value of these derivatives through the statement of income (loss) rather than directly to partners’ equity on the balance sheet. This restatement, which is non-cash in nature, has resulted in adjustments to Teekay LNG’s previously reported net income, but does not affect the economics of any hedging transactions or have any impact on the Partnership’s previously reported distributable cash flow, liquidity or cash distributions. The Partnership believes that the applicable derivative transactions were consistent with its risk management policies and that its overall hedging strategy continues to be sound.
The Partnership has discontinued the use of hedge accounting for its interest rate swap agreements and the profit sharing swap agreement. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses due to the change in the fair values of these derivative instruments will be reflected as increases or decreases to the Partnership’s voyage revenues, interest expense and interest income going forward. This change will not impact the economics of hedging transactions nor the Partnership’s distributable cash flow, liquidity or cash distributions in any future period.
Restatement for Changes to Accounting for Dropdown Transactions
Subsequent to the release of its preliminary second quarter financial results, the Partnership reviewed and revised its accounting treatment for certain vessels acquired through dropdown transactions from Teekay. The Partnership has historically accounted for the acquisition of vessel interests from Teekay as asset acquisitions (rather than business acquisitions) and recorded the financial results of these vessels commencing from the date the vessels were acquired by Teekay LNG.
Although substantially all of the value relating to these transactions is attributable to the vessels and associated contracts, the Partnership has now determined that these related-party vessel acquisitions should have been accounted for as business acquisitions (rather than asset acquisitions) under the provision of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). Under SFAS 141, business acquisitions for entities under common control which have begun operations are required to be accounted for in a manner whereby the Partnership’s financial statements are retroactively adjusted to include the historical results of the acquired vessels from the date the vessels were originally under the control of Teekay.
Accordingly, the Partnership has recast its historical financial results, including results for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2008 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 through 2007. The table below lists the seven vessels acquired by Teekay LNG subsequent to the Partnerships’ May 2005 initial public offering that formerly operated under Teekay.

The retroactive adjustments to reflect the results of the Dropdown Predecessor have resulted in changes to Teekay LNG’s previously reported net income and total partners’ equity. As they are non-cash in nature, these adjustments have not resulted in changes to the Partnership’s previously reported distributable cash flow, liquidity or cash distributions. The Dropdown Predecessor adjustments have no effect on the previously reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008, or partners’ equity as at June 30, 2008.

Restatement for Gross-up Presentation of RasGas Joint Ventures and Other
Subsequent to the release of its preliminary second quarter financial results, the Partnership reviewed and revised its financial statement presentation for debt and interest rate swap agreements related to its joint venture interests in the three RasGas II and four RasGas 3 LNG carriers. As a result, certain of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities have been grossed up for accounting presentation purposes. These adjustments, which do not affect the Partnership’s net income, distributable cash flow, liquidity, cash distributions or partners’ equity in any period, are described below. All RasGas II and RasGas 3 carriers have now been delivered and are currently operating under long-term, fixed-rate contracts.
In January 2006, the Partnership entered into a sale and 30-year leaseback arrangement pertaining to shipbuilding contracts for its 70 percent interest in the three RasGas II LNG carriers. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 97-10, The Effect of Lessee Involvement in Asset Construction, the Partnership has now recorded on its December 31, 2006 balance sheet the accumulated construction cost of these vessels and related capital lease obligations for the period subsequent to the RasGas II sale-leaseback transaction as the Partnership retained certain construction period risks. This adjustment does not impact the accounting treatment for these vessels in any period following their delivery in the first quarter of 2007. The Partnership has restated its consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2006 to record the accumulated cost of approximately $295 million for these vessels under construction, and related capital lease obligations.
Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Partnership owns a 40 percent interest in the four RasGas 3 LNG carriers. The joint venture partner, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qatar Gas Transport Company, owns the remaining 60 percent interest. Both wholly-owned subsidiaries are joint and several co-borrowers with respect to the RasGas 3 term loan and related interest rate swap agreements. Previously, the Partnership recorded 40 percent of the RasGas 3 term loan and interest rate swap obligations in its financial statements. The Partnership has now made adjustments to its balance sheet to reflect 100 percent of the RasGas 3 term loan and interest rate swap obligations, as well as offsetting increases in assets, for the fourth quarter of 2006 through the second quarter of 2008. As the Partnership is a joint and several borrower, it has also made adjustments to its statements of income (loss) to reflect 100 percent of the interest expense on the RasGas 3 term loan with an offsetting amount to interest income from its advances to the joint venture. These RasGas 3 adjustments do not result in any increase to the Partnership’s net exposure in the joint ventures.
The Partnership has also restated certain other items primarily relating to amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.
Information on SEC Filings

TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P.
APPENDIX A — RESTATED RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

 
Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure — Distributable Cash Flow (DCF)
Distributable cash flow represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-controlling interest, non-cash items, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, gains and losses on vessel sales, income taxes and foreign exchange related items. Unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are non-cash items to the Partnership and thus, have no impact on the Partnership’s distributable cash flow. Maintenance capital expenditures represent those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, the Partnership’s capital assets.
Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is not required by United States generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance required by United States generally accepted accounting principles. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net income.
